Snow Crystal is a collection of professional makeup created by Amore Pacific, Korea’s leader in skincare research and development, together with the world’s best creative stylists and international beauty partners. The collection is under the Laneíge brand.
“Iconic korean movie queen, Jun Ji Hyun steps into the world stage with a totally nouveau image – from innocent and sexy to chic and edgy with the infectious Asian charm. The secret: Laneige Snow Crystal make-up for unmatched brilliant skin that glows magically.”
One of the looks that the brand and collection can help create is seen on the featured photo. The skin looks naturally radiant and translucent. There are two main components in achieving this, it’s the water foundation as the base makeup and concealer to mask dark circles around the eye area and blemishes, making the skin look toned and even.
They recommend the use of this particular makeup from the Snow Crystal line.

Snow Crystal Dual Foundation SPF 22/PA+
This dual foundation has a concealer at the top and a foundation at the bottom. The foundation comprises the Honey Comb Structure which conjuncts moisturizing ingredients and brings upon the Cross Linking Complex – a complex that runs moisture like a cobweb, keeping moisture running all day. The result: imperfections like dark circles and blemishes are concealed and skin is kept moist and comfortable all day.
It’s available in a variety of beige tones: true, natural, sand, brown and deep beige.
Innovative technology found in Laneíge’s color makeup:

Fitting

Color fit system prevents caking.
Skin-affinity base ingredients instantly melt with skin temperature to promote long lasting wear.
Skincare
Contains 9 amino acid compounds. Vitamin E keeps skin healthy and radiant, and also prevents premature aging.
Where to buy one online? (Esp if you’re in the US or UK cuz stores that carry them are mostly in Singapore, as far as I’ve seen)

I just got this! Can’t wait to try it
Cool! I hope you can blog about your Laneige Snow Crystal experience. Let me know and I’ll link up.
This stuff is awesome. I bought a whole bunch of stuff after sticking with MAC foundation for a while. Laneige is excellent for Asian skin. I have acne-prone combo skin which is no picnic..but the Snow Crystal line is just awesome. I bought the Laneige Natural/Pure Make=up Base (absolutely excellent) – up til this point i skipped the base since i had a bad reaction to the Smashbox PhotoFinish stuff, Snow Crystal Dual Foundation, Snow Crystal Sebum Control pacts in shade 3 (for those hot humid days), and the SNow Crystal Satin Finish Twin pact in 21. I thought the pricing would be so much more expensive, but in actuality it’s the same pricing as with MAC and Dior stuff. I’ve gone thru sooo many different brands trying to find the right texture, colour, coverage, etc it’s unbelievable. This is the right one for me.
i found that this snow crystal dual foundation looks wonderful. is there any chance to deliver a bottle to me and how much is it . im staying in singapore or tell me which outlet i can purchase a bottle of this. thank you
this product snow crystal dual foundation wonderful and looks beautiful with natural look.
